Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 114 Del's Plan

time out.

Del looked solemnly, glanced at Ling Yu, then at Eddie, and said softly, "Eddie, you come down first."

what?
Ling Yu looked at Del in astonishment, and was blindfolded all of a sudden, thinking to himself: What kind of plane is this old man doing?Didn't they agree to let Eddie attack with the ball?

Eddie also seemed very puzzled, frowned slightly, and asked Del: "Does Del have any new tactics?"

With the same expression on his face, Del gave a small drink and said, "There are no new tactics, you come down first."

"it is good."

Eddie was helpless and confused.

In fact, Eddie's performance on the field is not too bad, he runs aggressively, and everything else is okay except for the sloppy hand.Occasionally distracted when defending, but when concentrating, he also managed to defend hard.However, it was such a player who was replaced after playing more than half of the first quarter, and was replaced when the Lakers were stretched out. This was very confusing.

Ling Yu frowned, walked towards Del, with a serious expression, and asked puzzledly: "Dell, I don't understand why you want to replace Eddie."

"You will understand later." Del replied lightly, beckoned to the bench, replaced Johnson, who had just been recalled from the Development League, turned to look at Ling Yu, and said lightly: "Look first, other things I'll talk about it later."

"Okay." Eddie walked to Ling Yu's side, patted Ling Yu lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't ask, he has his plans."

Ling Yu's expressions were all tangled together, he stared at Johnson, and said in confusion: "This kid has never played a single official game, what's the use of replacing him?"

Although Ling Yu spoke lightly, Del overheard him.

Del looked back at Ling Yu and said firmly, "It works."

"Johnson has a lot of territory, and he is not easy to lose his position during defensive confrontation." Delton paused and said, "Don't forget, Johnson averaged 3 steals per game."

"So what?" Ling Yu frowned and said, "It's just a development alliance, there is no comparison at all."

"Look first." Del's face darkened, and he muttered, "Damn it, are you the coach or me?"

"Okay, Bryant."

Eddie patted Ling Yu lightly and said, "Let's watch it first too."

Ling Yu looked at Del, sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, "This is the only way to go now."

This time I really don't understand at all.

When the timeout expired, the game continued. Except for the Lakers replacing Eddie and Johnson, neither side had any personnel changes.

The Rockets had the ball, Barkley held the ball high at a 45-degree angle, and kept looking around, looking for teammates in the open space.Clause quickly plugged in and was in front of Barkley.

"Hey, big guy."

Barkley roared at Dameng and lobbed the ball in.

Dameng took the ball with his back and leaned against Knight behind him. After leaning twice in a row, he dribbled the ball.Although Knight had already committed two fouls, the big dream was right in front of him, so he couldn't allow him to think too much, so he could only grit his teeth and push forward desperately.

However, hard work is a good thing, but this does not mean that hard work is enough.

In front of Dameng, Knight's only advantage is his body.Knight also knew this, so he gritted his teeth, opened his hands, and kept leaning against Dameng's body, trying to disrupt the rhythm of Dameng.However, this seems to be overthinking.Dameng withdrew her left foot, leaned slightly to the right, supported Knight with her right hand, and slowly dribbled the ball.

Knight hurriedly crouched, stretched his hands, put his feet on the ground, and was ready to pounce forward.However, at this moment, Dameng received the ball, passed through the gap between the two with his left foot, and then took another big step with his right foot. In this way, Knight passed cleanly, and then took advantage of the situation to pick the ball. into the basket.

"No one can guard against him."

Ling Yu muttered softly, his expression becoming more nervous.

If this continues, the Lakers will definitely burst out Xiang, the inside line will be blown up, and the outside line will be blown up.Hmph, it's scum.

"I really don't understand why Del replaced that kid." Ling Yu was entangled in that question again.

Eddie stared at the court motionlessly, and said softly, "I guess Del is trying to limit Barkley with that kid's vitality."

"Restrict Barkley?" Ling Yu smiled wryly, and said, "Do you think it's possible?"

While speaking, the Lakers' ball was broken.Coincidentally, it was Barkley who broke the ball from Johnson's hand.

"In the development league, he averaged 3 steals per game, so it's embarrassing!"

Ling Yu smiled wryly, shook his head helplessly and looked at Del, but saw that Del's expression was still serious, and he couldn't see any psychological changes.

Ling Yu's face darkened, and he murmured softly, "What is this guy thinking?"

At this moment, Barkley made a mid-range shot, and the Rockets scored two more points, extending their lead to 17 points. At this time, with 1 minute and 12 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, the Lakers had the ball.Clauser took the ball from the outside, tapped it twice, and handed the ball to Hawley who came running.

Holly took the ball without stopping, immediately dribbled it, and ran to the bottom corner.

"Why does Holly play like this?" Ling Yu frowned and said nervously: "There are two players in the bottom corner, so he will definitely be double-teamed if he passes like this, doesn't he know?"

Eddie was also confused, his expression became tense, and his heart was even more uneasy.

"Pass the ball." Ling Yu drank anxiously. "If you don't pass it on, it will be too late."

Eddie also looked nervous, and said anxiously: "It's useless, he can't hear it."

This side is anxious, but the other side seems not in a hurry. It continues to be transported to the bottom corner, as if to be prepared for all "accidents".

Not surprisingly, as soon as Horry dribbled the ball to the bottom corner, two Rockets players rushed forward, followed by Barkley.Poor Huo Li finally reacted, but the danger was already approaching. He quickly hugged the ball and leaned down to prevent the basketball from being robbed.It's just that the Rockets players didn't mean to grab the ball, they stretched out their hands to block all the gaps, that's all.

"Respond." Ling Yu frowned and said anxiously, "Pass the ball."

"Can't pass it on."

If so, Horry tried to find openings for passing the ball, but, except for the space on the baseline, the routes in the court were blocked.

At this moment, there was a "beep", and the 24-second attack time was up. The Lakers violated the offense and the Rockets had the ball.

How to fight this?
Ling Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed to Del.

"Dell." Ling Yu frowned, and said in a low voice, "I think Eddie should go up to get the ball and charge more."

Del glanced at Ling Yu, without changing his face, still serious, and said lightly: "Wait."

"Wait." Ling Yu said anxiously: "If you continue like this, you will lose."

This is imminent, what are you waiting for?

Del still didn't change his face, and said calmly: "This is only the first quarter, don't worry."

Although he said so, Del was very disturbed in his heart. From the moment he replaced Johnson, Del's beating heart never calmed down, and now it is beating even more non-stop, like a car out of control. train.

"Let's take a look first." Del calmed his heart slightly, paused, and said, "I have my own plan."

The plan is to replace Johnson?
Ling Yu smiled wryly, and said puzzledly, "Is Johnson really better than Eddie?"

"No."

Del replied resolutely, which made Ling Yu even more puzzled and at a loss.Del seemed to understand Ling Yu's confusion, and without turning his head, he said flatly, "Compared with Eddie, there is still a big gap between Johnson and Eddie."

Ling Yu asked puzzledly: "Then why did you replace him?"

Del slowed down and said: "Every player is always very excited and more passionate when he plays for the first time."

"Does that have anything to do with switching to Johnson?"

Ling Yu was still puzzled, yes, he was very excited the first time, and he was also very excited at the time, but the excitement lasted only for a short time, and when the competition was fierce, the feeling disappeared .

"Yes." Del replied, frowned, looked at Ling Yu, and said, "Look, you will understand." After speaking, Del walked towards the bench.

At this time, in the first quarter of the game, players from both sides walked off the court, gathered together, and listened to the coach's tactics.

In the first quarter, the Lakers made a total of 12 shots and hit 7 of them. It seemed that the shooting percentage was good, but the 12 shots revealed the problem of offense.This is not how good the Rockets' defense is, but the hesitation of the Lakers players and their daring not to shoot.Looking at the opponent Rockets, they took 26 shots in the first quarter and hit 18 goals. With such a high frequency of shots, they can still have such a high shooting percentage, which shows how bad the Lakers' defense is.

Del saw all kinds of problems on the court. With a sullen face, he took out the tactical board and began to draw lightly.

"Campbell pulls here, Hawley thrusts up diagonally, and Knight lifts up." Del didn't even look up, drawing while saying, "Crowse and Johnson crossed the bottom corners, and then took the opportunity to pull to the top of the arc."

"Do you understand?"

Del stopped the pen in his hand, looked around with a serious expression, and said, "I repeat, if there is space, just give me a shot, don't care if you get in or not, just shoot."

Ling Yu on the side frowned tightly, looking dazed.

What are the plans?
At this moment, Del spoke again.

"Defense." Del lowered his head again, moved his hands accordingly, and shouted softly: "Two-team Olajuwon, Johnson single-handedly defends Barkley, and the others join defense."

What kind of tactic is this?
Ling Yu stared blankly at Del, very puzzled.Double-teaming, single defense, and zone defense are all mixed together. What kind of tactics is this?Double-teaming, one person will definitely be vacated, and then let Johnson defend Barkley alone. Counting the double-teaming person, there are only three people. How can these three people defend together?

The others were equally confused, looked at the person next to them, and then at Del.

"Who told you that there must be five people in the joint defense?" Del stopped his hands, looked at the people around him with a dark face, and shouted: "Can't three people defend in the joint defense?"

Ling Yu asked in astonishment: "How do you defend against the three?"

Del put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "Then I will tell you how to position the three-man defense."
